Actually it isn't The nazy Symbol is just the inverse of the Swastika. Although it is just a theoritical point of view I would never drow a swatika because I fear most people wouldn't see the difference.
As for the discussion, every use of "F�hrer" in an modern context might be clear, it is use in many german tales and myth, because it wasen't mark, so from this point of view and remembering that dominions is a Myth/Fantasy Game it wouldn't be so choking to see a "F�hrer" here, as it would mean something completely different.
I think we should relativize the word and replace them in their context.

He has been in the game for quite some time, along with his sword. If people did not know of him I don't think it's suddenly going to make a difference that they do now. If only he would appear with Bogus type events and 3 other hoburg friends on a quest to Mordor as an event, would he start to take on a dynamic.

Edit: Added Hoburg friends.

Probably I've an older Item Ref because the Shortsword wasn't mentioned there, so I thought it was a very rare character and I met him ...

I hoped to do something useful with this post, not to start this discussion ...

If you check back you will see that alot of the discussions about the nations and their names tended to do that. I think we have covered just about everything that was ever covered in my high-school and college history courses.

But then again, considering that the games themes were done by a Professor of Religion and Social Sciences maybe thats not so unusual.
